Lee drank 1 2/3 quarts water Monday. He drank 2/5 water Tuesday. How amny quarts did he drink today?

Lee drank 31/15 qt. of water (2 1/15 qt. as a mixed number, or approximately 20.07 qt. as a decimal).

Step-by-step explanation:

To add and subtract fractions, a least common denominator needs to be found. But first, to make it easier, mixed numbers should be replaced with improper fractions. So, Lee drank 5/3 qt. of water.

Now to find the LCD (least common denominator), the denominators of each fraction should be multiplied by 1, then 2, then 3, etc until a product of one fraction is the same as that of another (as shown):

For 2/5, the denominator is 5, so 5*1 = 5, 5*2 = 10, 5*3 = 15...

For 5/3, the denominator is 3, so 3*1 = 3, 3*2 = 6, 3*3 = 9, 3*3 = 4, 3*5 = 15...

15 is the LCD, since both denominators can be multiplied by a whole number for a product of 15.

Now, each fraction is multiplied by 1, by multiplying each fractions numerators and denominators by the number found previously that causes the denominator to equal 15:

For 2/5, 5*3 = 15, so both 2 and 5 are multiplied by 3

        2* 3 = 6, 5 * 3 = 15, so 2/5 = 6/15

For 5/3, 3*5 = 15, so both 5 and 3 are multiplied by 5

        5* 5 = 25, 3 * 5 = 15, so 5/3 = 25/15

Now these fractions can easily be added or subtracted by performing these operations on their numerators. Sonia drank 6/15 qt. more than Lee, so she drank 6/15 + 25/15 qt. of water, or 31/15 qt.

Step-by-step explanation:

answer:

some responsibilities that come with having a checking account -

1. we have to maintain check register with exactness to avoid checks being returned for insufficient funds which is called bouncing a check.

2. we need to update our check register each time we make a transaction using a convenience card. updating check register will   save   us from   overdrawing of checking account.

3. read the agreement the bank gave you when you signed up for our checking account. this includes all the fees and the minimum balance we need to keep in our account to avoid maintenance charges.  

explanation:

note : -   checking account is a transactional deposit account. we can use it to deposit and withdraw funds. money in a checking account is very liquid. it   can be withdrawn using electronic debits, automated cash machines, or checks among other methods.
